I took a stroll down Memory Lane by watching the movie, Prisoner of Zenda.

It was a lovely book. I read it when I was in primary level. Fascinating plot.

The love story between Rudolph Rassendyll and Princess Flavia was "very real" to an impressionable lad and I always love the emotive words they say to each other. As the Englishman was just an imposter to the throne,he really have to play it real in order,including romancing the princess, to convince the public and the plotters that he really is King.

In the story, the King was the Prisoner of Zenda and has to be rescued so that he can be put back onto the throne. The sword-play was so-so only but it must have been great in those days in 1952.

Stewart Granger and Deborah Kerr were in their elements but James Mason stole the show as the reckless and conniving Rupert of Henzau.

Quite a nice show.
